I jumped on the bandwagon and chose to see which colours showed up the most on my Instagram feed and this was the palette selected for me. I'm not sure how accurately it reflects the colours I gravitate towards, but it was still an interesting activity in any case. Because I mainly post my paintings, the colours I tend to lean towards are quite a bit brighter and I definitely lean towards blues in any shade, so this felt a little 'off' to me, but it is a lovely palette in any case. Maybe the 100 days of portraits were reflected more strongly in this palette. Anyway, I always find it fun to try these things out. If you'd like to view my Instagram account, you can visit it here.
May the coming year bring you new happiness, new goals,
new achievements, new success, and a lot of new inspiration. Happy New Year! I can't believe that this is my 11th year of setting intentions for the year ahead by selecting a word instead of making resolutions. My initial introduction to this was through motivational speaker Christine Kane who suggests you can change your life by anwering a few questions:
1. What really matters? 2. What am I avoiding by worrying? 3. Whose business am I in mentally instead of my own? 4. Where can I spend money, save time or reduce stress? 5. Is the peace I'm seeking already here? Each time I have selected a word to guide me during the year, it is sometimes meant to force me to step out of my shell and other times to encourage me to sit more quietly. And often I have an artisan create something for me to celebrate that word, and often order several items (sometimes jewellery or pottery) so that I can share my favorite guiding word with friends and family. I also label a journal/sketchbook every year so that I can track my year, both the ups and downs, in order to see how my chosen word affects my choices and how I treat opportunities.
